Water is necessary for life. Without water, people cannot live. Unfortunately, too much water in your home can result in flooding and water damage. If steps are not taken quickly after flooding of your home, the damage only gets worse. With a Cleveland Water Damage [1] Restoration team, you can get the help you need to prevent further damage to your home.
The water may have got into your home in one of several ways. Perhaps a water supply line broke or a toilet has overflowed. Sewer lines sometimes break or back up. The roof may have started leaking or rain could have caused natural flooding of streams, creeks or rivers. Each of these situations can cause special problems that need to be considered in the restoration of your home.
Homeowner’s insurance will help to pay the cost of restoration in most cases other than natural flooding. This can help you to get your life back together.
If you live in an area prone to natural flooding, it is likely that your mortgage company has required that you carry flood insurance. If you have flood insurance, this insurance will pay for the restoration of your home when the damage is due to natural flooding.
Water damage professionals know how to deal with the insurance companies to get the funding necessary to restore your home. Some have a specific person whose only job is dealing with the insurance companies. Many of these professionals bill the insurance company directly. This means that you do not have to pay for the restoration and then wait for reimbursement.
Fresh water leaks are the easiest to clean if taken care of within 24 to 48 hours. After that time mold will have grown, and the damage must be taken care of like all other flooding damage. The contaminated water must be removed and the home disinfected and deodorized. Any mold that has begun to grow will need to be removed in such a way that spores are not spread to other areas of the home.
If you only have a fresh water leak you can begin the cleanup process with a wet/dry vac. Use the vacuum to remove as much water as possible from the carpet while waiting for the restoration team. With other flooding, you will want to relocate your family to a safe area until the water damage restoration team has declared that your home is safe for our return. They have the tools to clean up the mess and restore your home to its former state.
